General Sendmail Issues - FAQ - sendmail.orgThe program "procmail" is a replacement for the local mailer (variously called /bin/mail, /usr/bin/mail, mail.local, rmail, etc...). It has been ported to run on virtually every Unix-like OS you're likely to run into, and has a whole host of features. It is typically about 30% faster performing the job of the local mailer than programs such as /bin/mail or /usr/bin/mail, it has been hammered on widely to make it extremely secure (much more so than most local mailers) and very robust.Related Questions

Related QuestionsHow do I get Procmail and Netscape to cooperate?
Procmail FAQNetscape is not good about file locking and you will find that it forgets which messages have already been read every time Procmail appends to a folder. (Peter B. West has diagnosed this in some detail.) You can use Procmail to tag messages and use Netscape's filtering capabilities for the last mile or e.g.read your folders over IMAP and let Procmail deliver to the IMAP server instead.

Related QuestionsWhy is Procmail writing to the console? Can I stop that?
Procmail FAQIt's not, unless you specifically messed with this setting when you compiled it. Unmess and recompile. Another popular mistake is to somehow enable the MMDF message separator string (^A^A^A^A, four ASCII 01:s) before compiling. (This setting is the first thing in config.h and is kind of easy to uncomment so it's not all that hard to change it by mistake if you're using, uh, ahem, something else than the One True Text Editor.)
Related QuestionsHow can Procmail figure out who to Cc: when there are several recipients?
Procmail FAQIf you're asking this, you should probably be reading the answer to the previous question first. The rest of this is just a demonstration of how futile this is. It has been asked a number of times if it's possible to implement a good forwarding scheme which can take care of things like Cc:s to different users in the same virtual domain. The problem now is that if something comes in To: both jane and jill, (with infinite variations of Cc:s, Resent-To:, etc) it will only be forwarded to jill.

Related QuestionsIsn't SHA-1 broken? How come AxCrypt uses it?
Axantum Software AB | AxCrypt | Frequently Asked QuestionsOn Tuesday, February 15 2005, Bruce Schneier reported a cryptanalytic result stating that an algorithm producing collisions in SHA-1 in less than brute-force time had been published. In common parlance - SHA-1 was broken. SHA-1 does not protect the privacy of data in AxCrypt, it only protects the integrity and only as part of a keyed hashed message authentication code, a HMAC. The result does not in any way affect the use of SHA-1 as a preprocessing stage for the passphrase.

Procmail FAQWell, Procmail is frequently used to handle mail. And Procmail can only look at what's in a message's headers. And since the headers might just contain more or less anything, trying to let Procmail figure out whom a message for is pretty futile.

Related QuestionsHow do I use wildcards in Procmail?
Procmail FAQand other syntax issues Procmail uses regular expression syntax, which is more complicated but also vastly more versatile than the "glob" wildcards used in many shells for matching file names (where pr*mail would match anything which starts with "pr" and ends with "mail"). Briefly, the regular expression to match anything that begins with "pr" and ends with "mail" is ^pr.*mail$ but for practical purposes, e.g. in a Subject: line, you might want to try the following recipe: :0: * ^Subject: pr.
